Problem identified

Right now there is no easy way to create a Blog view of Articles via com_content showing content only for one or more tags. The views available vi com_tags arent as well maintained or as rich..

Proposed solution

Right now the Category blog view already allows choosing specific tags . This view /menu can be renamed to just a Blog view and allow selection of just tags. Currently choosing a category is compulsory. If we remove this compulsion the view can become more flexible and can be used with just tags or as a combination as it works now.

Hello parthlawate! But you can easy create a alternate menutype for your own needing for this? Or you use tag menu type

You mean code it in right ? We already do that.. However this can be a good out of the box solution for a very standard use case. The tag menu type is very restrictive and not as maintained as the Article Menu types..

Most of joomla's direct user wont code custom menus/ layouts.

Tagging is more flexible in many scenarios (An article can be part of multiple tags for instance) & you can end up using tags only instead of categories if this is enabled.
